What were all those secondary explosions? Looked crazy like fireworks.


I am making the assumption that it was possibly lithium

Let's remember - for those wishing to politicize this matter, particularly those chirping about DJT.

He is President-ELECT ---- this is all on Sleepy's watch and his people, just saying....

Yeah, that shite looks suspicious, but I'd want to know where the battery is located.

Guessing that's from the batteries in the car.

That’s not what battery failures look like. That looks like fireworks.

Just curious as to why this happens at 3am and not 12 or 11 at peak crowds?


He planned for midnight but had to stop a few times to charge his truck.

All he did was ram a truck and shoot a gun. If he acted alone, he simply may not have been triggered until 3:00am.


Did he buy the ISIS flag on his way to Bourbon since you think this was so spur of the moment?

Battery is a big flat pack under the floor unless it has the range extender that takes up the bed against the back cab.

If the battery is blown up intentionally it could look like that.

That's probably when his IEDs were supposed to go off,but failed. This was plan B


if he was acting alone, which it doesn’t sound like it at this point. this is a valid theory.

1 killed and 7 wounded after car explodes in front of the lobby of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas.

Hopefully they are counting the driver as the “1 killed”, and any innocent bystanders that were injured make a full recovery.

Highly unlikely. An explosion big enough to breach the BESS system would have been larger. And then it would be blown down, not up since the battery is below the bed. I would put my money on fireworks. It’s the day after NYE after all.

In my amateur opinion he knew he couldn't fly it but wanted it to be there for the aftermath #propaganda

Guns and pipe bombs were also found in the vehicle, according to a Louisiana State Police intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. The devices, which were concealed within coolers, were wired for remote detonation, the bulletin said, and a corresponding remote control was discovered inside the vehicle.

The FBI said other potential explosive devices were also located in the French Quarter. According to the intelligence bulletin, surveillance footage captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices.

Councilman just said FBI said there are accomplices and authorities are looking for them. He didn’t act alone. That’s not great to say when there’s an event with 70,000+ in a few hours. What if they’re planning something at the dome?


Considering this and the Tesla explosion in front of Trump international hotel in Vegas, i would not attend that game.

I have no idea what the video indicated, but the audio had the sound of fireworks.
